But... When the ten examinees from the Three Major Zones charged up to Tang Yi, they were left utterly stunned.
Upon reaching Tang Yi, the ten examinees from the Three Major Zones attacked him with swords, sabers, and all sorts of other weapons.
However... Without any perceptible motion, Tang Yi simply tilted his head and twisted his body, dodging every single attack.
In fact, his feet hadn’t moved an inch. He remained standing in the same spot, perfectly calm and composed.
It didn’t matter how much the ten examinees from the Three Major Zones gritted their teeth, how perfectly they executed their Martial Techniques, or how fiercely and cunningly they brandished the weapons in their hands. They couldn’t even touch the corner of Tang Yi’s robes, let alone land a blow on him.
But that wasn’t even the most crucial part. The most crucial part was that Tang Yi had kept his eyes closed from the very beginning and hadn’t opened them once.
Damn it, the guy had his eyes closed and was letting them attack, and they couldn’t even fucking touch him?
The ten examinees from the Three Major Zones summoned every last ounce of their strength, intensifying their attacks. Finally, all ten of them surged forward at once, surrounding Tang Yi to assail him from all sides.
But it was still useless. No matter the attack or the direction it came from, it was either effortlessly dodged by Tang Yi or blocked by an invisible Energy, unable to advance in the slightest.
"What the hell? What are you all doing?"
Yui Mu’s brow furrowed as he watched the fight between the ten examinees and Tang Yi, his expression turning ugly.
’The Three Major Zones sent ten examinees to deal with a single candidate from the measly North District, and it’s taking this long?’
’And they still can’t even take him down?’
’What the hell is this bullshit?’
"I’m talking to you all! What are you doing? Get on with it! You’re all so feeble! Do you think you’re playing house?"
Yui Mu roared at the ten examinees in the distance. Hearing Yui Mu’s roar, the ten examinees attacking Tang Yi felt an unspeakable bitterness, an overwhelming sense of grievance.
’Damn it, we are attacking! We’ve been giving it our all! We’ve used every last ounce of our strength, even unleashed our ultimate Martial Techniques, but we just can’t hit him! What are we supposed to do?’
"Heh, so this is all the examinees from the Three Major Zones are capable of. You’re far worse than the examinees from our North District."
At that moment, Tang Yi let out a cold laugh. "Alright," he said, "I’m done wasting time playing with you. I have other things to do."
With that, Tang Yi stopped dodging. He extended a single finger and began tapping it in the direction of the examinees from the Three Major Zones, one after another.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! As Tang Yi’s finger tapped against the weapons of the examinees from the Three Major Zones, a series of metallic clashes rang out, sending sparks flying.
Simultaneously, with each tap of Tang Yi’s finger, the ten examinees from the Three Major Zones who were besieging him were sent flying by an immense Power, flung away along with their weapons.
Regardless of their grade, weight, or type, the weapons seemed to collapse as if struck by some incredible force. They began to disintegrate in mid-air, shattering into tiny fragments that rained down to the ground.
As for the men... THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! A moment later, the bodies of the ten examinees crashed heavily onto the ground more than a dozen meters away. Their eyes rolled back, and they went silent.
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing an examinee from the West Mansion. You have received 6054 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing an examinee from the West Mansion. You have received 4321 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing an examinee from the West Mansion. You have received 15854 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
At that moment, the notification prompts for gaining Experience Value sounded in Tang Yi’s mind.
The arrival of these prompts confirmed that all ten examinees from the Three Major Zones were dead.
Tang Yi hadn’t used any Martial Techniques. He had merely tapped his finger a few times, releasing a sliver of his Power. This sliver of Power was enough to instantly kill all ten examinees from the Three Major Zones, a testament to how formidable his strength had become.
Normally, Tang Yi wouldn’t kill so easily. ’After all, I’m a human, not a monster; killing takes a psychological toll.’
But he felt no psychological burden for killing these ten examinees from the Three Major Zones. After all, he lived by the principle of ’I won’t attack unless I’m attacked.’ These people had conspired to murder the examinees from the North District, so for them to meet such an end, their deaths were more than justified.
’It’s just a shame the Experience Value is a bit low. One examinee only gives a few thousand points, with the highest being just over ten thousand. Right now, I need tens of millions of Experience Value to level up. A mere ten-thousand-plus points is just a drop in the ocean, completely insignificant.’
’Of course, the examinees were only at the Battle Grandmaster level, with the more powerful ones being Battle Spirits. At their level, they couldn’t give me much Experience Value. I’m lucky to have gotten any at all.’
Meanwhile, the remaining examinees from the Three Major Zones were completely stunned. They had just watched Tang Yi effortlessly send ten of their comrades flying with a few light taps of his finger. After landing, the ten of them showed no signs of life, as if they were dead.
’What the hell was going on?’
Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
"I... I didn’t see that wrong, did I? That examinee from the North District just tapped his finger a few times, and all ten of our examinees from the Three Major Zones were sent flying?"
"They... they aren’t dead, are they?"
"I can’t sense their auras anymore. They must be dead."
"Holy crap, that North District examinee can instantly kill ten of our geniuses from the Three Major Zones with a few taps of his finger? How is that possible?!"
"I was watching them just now. Those ten didn’t seem to be holding back at all. They used all kinds of powerful Martial Techniques, but they couldn’t do a thing to that guy from the North District. And yet, with just a few taps of his finger, he sent all ten of them flying... Doesn’t that mean..."
"I was watching our ten examinees from the Three Major Zones closely. Every single one of them was sweating, their faces were strained with exhaustion, and they were even gritting their teeth. It looked like they were having an incredibly hard time. Maybe it wasn’t that they weren’t trying their best, but that their best was completely useless against that examinee from the North District."
"Are you saying... this examinee is stronger than all ten of our candidates from the Three Major Zones combined?"
"Impossible! There’s no way an examinee from the North District could have that kind of power."
"I agree, there’s no way an examinee from the North District is that strong. We’re all examinees, how can he be so powerful? He must have used some Demon Technique to make all of our examinees’ attacks miss. Then he must have used some kind of Poison Technique that poisons people without them noticing, so a single light tap is enough to send them flying and kill them instantly."
"That seems plausible."
"Demon Techniques and Poison Techniques... that seems a little far-fetched. Say, do you think he could be the second-ranked examinee on the West Mansion Outer Mansion’s leaderboards? If it were him, then this level of power would make sense."
"How could that be? The second-ranked examinee on the leaderboard is a peerless genius. How could someone like that possibly come from the barren North District?"
